Show 10 JANUARY THURSDAY In training a child in the way he should go the instructor has to study each one he directs. An insight into the emotional nature is essential to the task. Conduct is revealed and explained by emotional activities. To analyze and understand them requires patience, sympathy and tolerance. Emotions are hard to fathom. Their origin is shrouded in mystery, but the results of outbursts of temper or reactions to reproof may be studied with profit for both teacher and pupil. Their neglect or irritation often permits weeds of lawlessness to grow where flowers of sentimentality might have been cultivated. One of the most important branches of education is that which fits the boy or girl to take part in the life of the community, the state and the nation. Without aspiring or rising to a position of eminence one still has duties to perform, responsibilities to assume and a place to fill in some group of fellow beings. It is not intended for the normal human to live in isolation. The life of each is a part of the totality of existence in the sphere in which it moves. Social training, such as Superintendent Nuttall mentioned in an address the other day, to enable the individual to mix with crowds, to avoid accidents, to participate in government, to assist in law enforcement, is vital to a rounded education for usefulness among civilized people. All of these problems must receive serious consideration in training up a child in the way he should go. But the force of example should never be overlooked in the selection of teachers. Frequently their contact with pupils is closer than that of parents, while the influence they exert is often noticeable in the careers of individuals and in the welfare of communities. They should, therefore, have personality, character, enthusiasm, decent impulses and moral stamina. The future of the race is in their hands. Continuous advancement of humanity depends on the interest teachers take and awaken in youth. If they are willing and capable to train up a child in the way he should go, when he is old he will not depart from it. At least those are not apt to stray far when started early in the right direction.
